The idea of eating locusts has actually been lingering in Ganguyu's mind for a long time.

The locust on the earth is rich in active substances such as proteins, carbohydrates and insect hormones, as well as various vitamins and trace elements, making it a highly nutritious delicacy.

In the southernmost part of ****, such a bug has long been reduced to the belly of people. In the east, locusts have long been a popular edible insect in modern times. There are also people who have embarked on the road of well-off by professionally breeding edible and medicinal locusts.

However, are the magic locusts on the salty continent as edible as the locusts on the earth? Ganguyu was naturally uncertain at the beginning, so a series of preliminary experiments were indispensable.

The first is observation. Gangu Yu captured several demon locusts alive and used perception to observe their internal structure.

The locust still has water and blood in its body, so the perceptual spell can penetrate into the locust's body. Ganguyu found that there were no suspicious substances in the body fluids of the demon locust, and the internal and external structures of the body were similar to those of the Chinese rice locust, especially the ordinary demon locust, which was just an enlarged version of the Chinese rice locust, but some of the demon locusts had condensed magic crystals in their heads.

Then there is the extensive in vivo experimentation. Gangu Yu asked Lina and the Gao brothers to go out, forcibly caught all kinds of omnivorous or carnivorous beasts, and fed them to the locusts, but after observing them for a long time, they did not show any abnormalities.

Next, Ganguyu used black-toothed pigs to conduct a sample control experiment. At this point, he was almost certain that the locusts were edible, but he decided to conduct a final clinical experiment, that is, to taste the locusts himself.

To be honest, this is really a challenge for Ganguyu. Although reason told him that locusts were a delicacy, before that, the limit of what he could accept. It's nothing more than fried silkworm chrysalis and drunken shrimp at the level of cooking, fried locusts or something, it sounds a little scary, okay?

But if he didn't lead by example, how would anyone else accept it? So he took the locust and its feet and wings, fried it in warm oil, and sprinkled it with salt. He picked up a demon locust and put it to his mouth, closed his eyes and bit it down fiercely.

At the same time, he also held a magic scroll in his other hand, which was a fourth-order light system magic holy light wash, which could dispel most of the abnormal states. The Demon Locust is only the fourth rank, and even if it is poisonous, it should be able to save one's life with this magic scroll.

But after biting this bite, Gangu Yu knew that he had made the mistake of habitual thinking. After all, this demon locust is several circles larger than the locust, and its shell is a few points harder than a shrimp shell. It's really not a good texture, but the meat inside is still a little delicious, a bit like the taste of local chicken. Gangu Yu swallowed this mouthful of demon locust meat with difficulty, and after a while, there were no adverse reactions.

After this first sip, Gangu Yu had the meaning of breaking the jar, and the psychological burden was not so heavy. After quickly swallowing a few mouthfuls of the locust meat, he was even more sure of the locust's edibility. It's just that because of the large size of the demon locust, there is no smell inside. But it is a problem that needs to be improved in the future.

Now that the devil locust is edible, the next question is how to convince everyone to eat the locust. Although he can lead by example. But what if everyone else thinks of him as a freak?

Therefore, before calling everyone to the pepper fence, Gangu Yu had prepared a lot of drafts to persuade the group of people in the disaster prevention team to eat the locusts. But—

"You, you—don't you think it's strange to let you eat locusts?"

"You haven't confirmed it all. Is this demon locust edible?" Pei Pei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, you can eat it, yes, but you don't have any problem with eating the demon locust?" asked Gangu Yu again unwillingly.

"Opinion?" Lena frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it would taste better if you add some chili peppers to fry the locusts, right?"

Gangu Yu was a little crazy: "Brother didn't mean that. I mean. If you eat the locusts, you won't have any fear, and you won't have any psychological burden."

"Why be afraid?" even Munster was puzzled this time, "the Blacktooth Pig is a demonic beast, and the demonic locust is also a demonic beast. As long as there is no poison, the black-toothed pig can eat it, why can't the demon locust eat it?"

Gangu Yu was speechless for a moment. Is this a cognitive barrier between the Earth and the salty continent, or is it a fighting race for the people of the salty continent?

In fact, Ganguyu can be regarded as making the mistake of habitual thinking again. In the salty continent, perennial famine is raging, for many ordinary people, it is good to have a stutter, how can they care about the appearance and taste of this food?

What's more, in their eyes, the magical beasts that like to waste food can become their rations, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort and compensation. In fact, if these magical beasts could not be eaten, the famine on the continent would probably be much more serious.

Of course, as the former elder of the Natural Forest, Qiu Yi still spoke up: "But this demon locust should also belong to the meat fish, Xiao Guyu, you have already eaten it, the concubine knows that you can't control that mouth if you leave the Natural Forest......"

I didn't control it when I didn't leave!, Gangu Yupei, Pei Liangyue and others complained in unison in their hearts.

Anyway, Gangu Yu finally has an excuse not to eat locusts by example. However, Pei Pei Liangyue and the others were depressed, and it seemed that they had begun to plot when to sneak out and steal the demon locusts.

However, due to the large size of the demon locust, its shell is much harder than the locusts that Ganguyu is familiar with, and eating it directly will affect the taste, so the cooking methods of the locusts he is familiar with need to be improved to a certain extent.

Therefore, the first step in cooking the locusts is to put the locusts that have been washed and sterilized in warm salt water into a pot of boiling water and boil them for a half-cooked time, then remove the whiskers and wings, remove the legs with jagged burrs, and then peel off the shell to reveal the tender locust flesh that is white and yellow.

"Hehe, it's a bit like peeling shrimp. Gangu Yu shook his head with a smile and completed the process with everyone.

It is worth mentioning that the last pair of demon locust feet that could have been directly removed can be removed, and their thighs are also like the pair of pincer feet of crabs, which are full of delicious meat. Gan Guyu kept hinting to himself that these were not locusts, but just shrimp and crab creatures that looked like locusts, and he felt a lot better in his heart.

Similarly, because the locust is large enough, its internal organs have evolved more completely. So after the husking, Gangu Yu commanded everyone to dig out all the internal organs of the demon locust and make fertilizer in the field, leaving only the tender demon locust meat. At first glance, it is not so unacceptable. (To be continued.) )
